Hackers have breached an online course founded by ostensible influencer and self-described misogynist Andrew Tate, leaking data on close to 800,000 users, including thousands of email addresses and private user chat logs.
The Daily Dot, which broke the news Thursday, reported that the hackers accessed the user data, then flooded the online course's chatroom with emojis that "included a transgender flag, a feminist fist, an AI-generated image of Tate draped in a rainbow flag, another where his buttocks are enlarged," among others.
The hacktivists provided the hacked data on the course's users to The Daily Dot, which handed the records to data breach notification site Have I Been Pwned, and DDoSecrets, a nonprofit collective that stores leaked datasets in the public interest.
Per the BBC, Tate remains under house arrest in Romania awaiting trial on charges on allegations of human trafficking and rape.
